cloth or disposable?

[InSaneOne]

due to the large number of mums here who are using cloth i thought it would be interesting to see what percentage of us bubhubbers use cloth and how many use disposables. and who uses a combination of both.

[M O P]

I voted for cloth but we do usually have a packet of sposies in Hugh's room for emergencies, eg Hugh gets diarrhoea and I can't keep up with washing and drying- don't have a drier.
Since getting my new wet bag I use cloth when we're out and about now too.

:thumbsup: Disposable all the way for me. I only use Huggies, I think they are the best.

[Niki]

[Zada]

in the process of switching over to cloth :thumbsup:

Up until 3 months ago we we're using disposables fulltime now we're clothies fulltime :thumbsup: We don't even have spare disposbles for 'just in case' in this household, I refuse to use them but that's mine and DH's personal choice.

[Pixie]

Sposies for us :D

We use modern fitted cloth at home and disposables when we are out or when he is wearing his Baby Gap jeans coz they won't fit a cloth nappy underneath.

I am even surprised at myself, I would never have thought in a million years that I would use anything but disposables but I find pocket nappies to be more absorbent and of course they're pretty cute.

Its also a bit of a 'weird' thing to do in my family and I like to retain my position of black sheep. It amuses me. :D

No debate from me, I have no reason to use cloth, I just want to.

[SilverStarfish]

I voted disposable (Huggies and Aldi) because that's what I use most of the time. I use terry flats in the afternoon and evening as "nappy free time" has become far to hazardous now that Sarah's on the move. :laughing:

Environmental and money reasons first, but how can you not go past the look!

Hey guys,

I an glad to see so many people are using cloth.

my friend and i did some tests with her little one and we discovered a money savings of about $100 / month when using cloth. thats a lot if your paying off a home.

and this included having a few plastic on hand for emergencies.

As i will be a SAHM for at least a year i think cloth would suit me fine.

I love to see a line full of clean white nappies.

[Oscar's mum]

We use cloth full time here!

[mummycloud]

Full time clothie here :D

I love my bright colourful stash of fitteds, AIO's and pockets,
I was using flats up until 9 months ago, but discovered MCN and haven't gone back since.

[MummyCharmzy]

cloth here too

[Areca]

Cloth here but have a pack of sposie's on hand for emergency's only.

[babytoo]

I'm a modern cloth nappy user....started when DD was 4 months old. My DS was in sposies...can't believe I use cloth, I'm the worlds laziest person, never thought I would see the day but they are soooooo easy!

[Funkychicken]

Full time cloth!

[Mor]

cloth 110% since birth! :)

[Nickster]

We use a combination of disposables and cloth (love my BB bamboo:thumbsup: ). There are pros and cons to both and I like to think I'm getting the best of both worlds.

[poshBecks]

I use disposable on Connor & Cloth on Ella.

[DragonFly Baby]

Cloth since birth...why woulden't ya?:thumbsup:

[Percy]

We use cloth during the day, but sposies still at night. i am slowly moving into full time though.

[Ana Gram]

Disposables, love them and my mother pays for them :D

[Shanaynay]

in cloth 110%: bub in cloth at home and when out, toddler wears cloth at nighttime (TT in the day)

[cheezelkat]

Both. I'm a bit lazy I use sposies more than I should, but I do buy and use cloth too.

[~Chick79~]

I am a fulltime clothie :yes:

Bought a box of disposables the other day (we are moving this week so this is just a tad easier) and nearly collasped at the check out!!!

[Little Gorilla]

disposables here - couldn't be bothered with cloth to tell the truth.

[meme]

cloth.
when i started using cloth (still fairly recently) i thought i would just use some disposables and some cloth, but turns out i am too lazy and tight to be bothered buying sposies anymore:laughing:
i find it too convenient to know i can just wash the nappies and reuse them:rolleyes:
but i may use sposies again as back up, if i can get around to buying some.

[Seekrit]

Part time clothie. If I had more I'd use them full time.

[mama anne]

cloth for us since bella was about 2 weeks old :)
i love that there's no smelly nappies in our bins or in the wheely bin outside, and i love how cute and easy to use the nappies are.
modern cloth all the way in our house :smiliedance:

[the_queen]

I use modern cloth :thumbsup:

[~Alicia]

I'm about to make the switch :eek: :D

have to admit, I'm a tad apprehensive. :o

[Mel-Jane]

We use cloth 90% of the time and just disposables when we are out and about for extended periods. I love the look of the big bottom and the white cloth line.

Sounds like us!
I am so lazy so modern cloth is wonderful. Much easier. Also don't mind an 'old fashioned' flat with woollen soaker. Actually I am a sucker for the covers more than anything. We used cloth on our holiday the last couple of days. Easier than going to the shops and filling the bin. We were limited at the resort with our rubbish also.
:o :ecomcity:

[susiehomemaker]

Go Modern Cloth! Since I got my last "fluffy mail" 4 weeks ago I have not even had to use a "disgustable" once- Hoorah! I love flats too, but only just found out about woolen soakers, so I might give them a go with the flats (stopped using flats do to DD's problem with exposed elastic) As above, so happy not to have stinky bins anymore! (or to have to trapse out to garbage bin in the scary night or rain!) And so happy to have more in the family budget every week too!

[motherlylove]

I used cloth till Alirah was 8 months old now i use disposables

[LucyE]

Full time modern cloth since newborn. It's also probably why DS has TTed so soon and easily. We also used cloth training pants and now onto cloth undies :)

[reAllytee]

We are full time clothies here :D
We use them out & about all day every day not a disposable in sight here !
I even have spares at my mums house just incase we stay longer etc & im also now starting to add more to my stash for future bubs !

[ikis84]

Well, I personally don't use cloth nappies... but my daughter does :p 100%

[AM]

I'm a closet disposable user!:laughing: :o
I really am not happy about it, and i think I am going to have to delve into the world of cloth, I've always been really intimidated by it, it seems so complicated!:eek:

Off to try and educate myself!:thumbsup:

[OscarTheGrouch]

I use and love modern cloth nappies, though have to admit to using disposables when going out.:o

[tickle]

Oh my AM, oh my. :shame: :p
When you're back this way I would be happy to show you mine and explain it all to you.:D

[AM]

Thanks Tickle, I'll look foward to it!:)
